You may not be surprised to find out that Transformers 3 is being worked on even before the second chapter of the story has been released. This was pretty much a given considering that almost every movie franchise nowadays shoots to have at least a trilogy. However you may be surprised to discover that not only is it being worked on but its apparently far enough along to have a release date. I personally didn’t expect them to be far enough along with it to announce a release date. The July 1st, 2011 is the date to mark on your calendar.

Who are the characters? What is the storyline? We won’t know and can’t even really begin to guess until we’ve seen the end of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, which releases July 24th of this year.
